Multi 3000 generator charging

My multi 3000 has stopped charging from the generator. Could it be that the battery levels have dropped too low (as mentioned in this forum) or could it be that the transfer switch is faulty. I’m getting a reading of 240v going into the multi from the generator but it’s not activating the transfer switch

The gen should be capable enough, only cos it's not a toy one. The Multi could indeed overload it though, and when you get in there. maybe set it's limit to 10A or below (there is a min, but it's a bit lower than that, it should tell you if you try too low). Those are ac A.

I do note the Multi 3000 has a couple of models with different transfer switch ratings too, and perhaps that's a factor. But 10A easily covers both.

Hard to diagnose from here, but if you need more links to info please yell.

Hi Philby. Look first for rejection of the generator ac by the Multi. It's by design, but it is very particular about what it will accept. There are no warnings when it happens (maybe led's, I've never looked), but if you're standing nearby you'll likely hear the relays 'attempt', then reject, possibly several times spaced out a little. I suffer this, so do many others, but it's tweakable:

Expensive gennys aren't immune either, tis the luck of the draw. Inverter genny output is usually ok, but may baulk within themselves at load spikes when switched in, then recover. You could keep an eye on this by having say a light on a second ac output. The Multi seems to only try x? times, then gives up. Fair enough, to save relay wear.

Don't despair, you're not alone. The likelihood of this being your issue is far greater than a Multi fault. Not to be totally discounted of course, but go through that linked procedure first. Good luck.
